Coyote Peterson Prepares Himself for a Painful Meeting With a Bullet Ant on December 20, 2016

At the end of his quest to endure the most painful sting in the world, the self-punishing wildlife educator Coyote Peterson set out to prepare himself and capture the bullet ant who will deliver the goods. This “hard-won” sting is set to take place on Tuesday, December 20, 2016.

I’m working my way up the sting ladder so that i can be stung by a bullet ant, which is supposed to be the most painful sting of the insect kingdom. However the real reason is so that we can all get a first-hand visual and audible education as to what happens if you are stung by some of these oftentimes misunderstood and feared animals. I have a feeling that the bullet ant is going to be pretty painful.
